shooting, some by stabs, blows
and whippings, and still others
(Yrcirxon) have died of broken
hearts. It was in 1880 that the
family became notorious as in
deadly hatred, Randall McCoy
being at the head of the Ken
tucky clan; Anderson, or "Ahse"
Hatfield,, the chief of the West
Virginia contingency. The two
men were very powerful among
the mountain people. They had
adherents who urged them on to
any atrocity. In 1882 Talbot
MeCo and Ellison Hatfield had
a duel, in which Ellison was
killed, not by ; Talbot, but by
Farmer McCoy, his brother. The
Hatfields captured the: three Mc
Coys Talbot, Randall ' and
Farmer and slaughtered them
all. Jefferson McCoywas after
wards : trapped , by Anse'.-and
shot while escaping. The;; State
authorities now took: a. hand.
Big rewards were offered for
the Hatfields dead or .alive, and
Sheriff Frank, Phillips, with a
band, including some of the "Mc
Coy faction, went on the war
path. Murders were rife now on
both sides, whippings to death of
,Tomen and threats on both sides
to clean out the enemy. In 1895,
at an election at Mate wan, Phil
fips was shot dead by. old "Cap"
Hatfield, and Rutherford McCoy
followed. The Hatfields and
McCoys grew scarce, and it
looked, as if, should tha law de-1
lay much longer, both : f amilies j
ould be extinct. " : i
Health A Wife and Two
Left Behind.
For quite a long while Mr.
Rbbt. J " Hodson, who lived at
Forest Hill has been in very bad
health and has been unfit for
life's toils. Gradually the dis
ease, consumption, 'has been
taking his life away and at a few
minutes before 9 o'clock today
(Thursday) the death summons
came. j
Mr. Hodson, several years
ago, married Miss Ida Misen
heimer, and now leaves behind
his loving wife and two chili
dren. Mr. Hodson came here
from Worth ville, N. C. and was
an experienced cotton mill oper

After arresting Jim Boger
and searching him, a pistol was
found in his hip pocket. The

in Williams pocket, instead .of
in Basinger's pocket. Witnesses
